The first one was passed without the necessary vetting process, due to the heavy handedness of it's sponsors and beneficiaries, and the fact that all who opposed it were labled and blamed for the fresh wound of Sept. 11(who gained the most? by the way...). This is a power grab, and the citizenry has been duped by "Patriot"ism.
When the next attack hits, and for some reason they always do right before rigid anti-terrorism legislation is passed, this will pass just as easily, and with just as much consequence for the future of our republic...
terror bill pending, OKC, terror bill passed, RAND corp writing terror bill, 9-11, terror bill passed, terror bill leaked/pending... you do the math
